ICAP 2015

Members of the Panel Discussion

The following participants of ICAP 2015 were panelists of the Panel Discussion Sessions titled “Place of Psychology in Rehabilitation & Reconciliation” and ”Overcoming Challenges in Developing Psychological Services in South Asia”

The discussions which were held on the first and second days of the conference respectively was aimed at sharing the views and experiences of psychologists from the region on the current issues faced by this profession in South Asia and discuss strategies psychologists from different countries have developed in order to address and overcome these issues. In a region where most of the other areas of study have developed to international standards, it is worth inquiring into the reasons for the slow growth of this field.

Accordingly, participants from the countries where psychology is developed had the opportunity to contribute by sharing their experiences and recalling the strategies they used in battling the same issues and challenges several decades ago.
